Le azioni Airbus crollano del 9% in seguito alle notizie di nuovi problemi di qualità su dozzine di aerei A320

Shares of European aerospace giant Airbus fell more than 9% on Monday morning, following reports the company has discovered an industrial quality issue regarding dozens of A320-family aircraft.

The flaw, which is said to affect the aircraft’s fuselage panels, is delaying some deliveries but there are no immediate indications that it has reached aircraft in service, Reuters reported, citing unnamed sources.

Airbus was not immediately available to comment when contacted by CNBC.

Paris-listed shares of Airbus plunged to the bottom of the pan-European Stoxx 600 index on the news. The stock was last seen down 9.5%, on track for its biggest daily drop since June last year, according to LSEG data.

The latest report comes after Airbus said the vast majority of the roughly 6,000 A320-family aircraft impacted by a software glitch over the weekend had now received the necessary modifications.

In a statement published Monday, Airbus apologized for delays caused to passengers and airlines impacted by the issue, which affected more than half of the narrow-body fleet and forced airlines to ground jets during one of the busiest travel weekends of the year.

The directive — among the largest in the 55-year history of Airbus — quickly spilled into U.S. holiday travel and stretched to Australia. The disruption, linked to solar flares, hit especially hard in Asia, where the single-aisle A320 family anchors short-haul networks.

Detected issue before any accident. Already rolled back the bad version. Were very transparent about the whole thing.

I think this is the only right way to act.

If they fell 9%, Boeing must have fell 100% already.

Wow… the incredibly rare case where the daily excuse of “Uh… solar flares?” is actually correct.

Simple fix, already rolled out to most of the planes.

Would those ‘panic sellers’ have second thoughts by now?
